About The Position

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As a technical designer working closely with a team of engineers, you will be supporting the design, analysis, development and testing of primary and secondary structures for the New Glenn second stage. You will share the team's impact on all aspects of the product lifecycle. You will develop conceptual designs, participate in our design review process, conduct trade studies, fabricate hardware, and execute tests. Under supervision, you will bring your designs to release maturity through detailed design, drafting, and drawing creation. You will be responsible for coordinating design updates and maintaining schedules, and plans. You will collaborate with multi-functional teams to procure, fabricate, test, and ultimately fly the hardware you have helped craft. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.
